I think there is a 50/50 chance AWB II may pass. I hope and pray it does not, but there are so many people out there who think Diane Feinstein just wants to ban machine guns. The term "assault weapon" is meant to confuse the non shooting voter, who generally does not pay attention to such things. The typical AR 15 in .223 is not "high powered" nor does it fire in full auto; yet many non shooters have been convinced an AR 15 in .223 can stop an elephant and fire 3,000 rounds per minute. These folks have been flimflammed by the media, politicians and groups like the Brady Campaign. We have to shine the light of truth on these matters.
